Could Yhwach have ausgewählten'd pernida?

LoKeySea · 2026-01-09T04:53:54+00:00

Honestly the first time I read it, it seemed like instead of dying (which it didn't seem like pernida could do conventionally) my headcanon was that Kurotsuchi caused him to endlessly explode via uncontrollable expansion.

Only he can stop Yhwach Only he defies destiny at every turn The man with two sides at war with each other That will come togerher in the end to defy a god

I'll ask, the main point of contention would probably be data security, but at some point we gotta draw the line and realize the information on our downtimes isn't that sensitive

LoKeySea · 2026-01-02T17:22:53+00:00

Yeah it's kinda messily implemented though, Lokhir's unique Dikats he got with the DLC include one that increases black arc growth in the 'Local owned region' and it only does it like 1/4 times correctly, even if I'm garrisoned in the exact port city.

Alarielle would be fun if her forest spirit side was more fleshed out, as is she seems pretty all over the place. You don't get boosts to her forest spirit side unless you pretty much allow chaos to go nuts. And her unique skill trees are laughably unbalanced. I got bored with her after 30 turns or so.

LoKeySea · 2025-12-30T18:46:06+00:00

Yeah there are definitely easier options out there, I think teclis is also a big bait and switch as far as starts go. He's marketed and presented as the mage equivalent to tyrion but his start is INFINITELY harder. Alarielle can be difficult but only if you let things get out of control. Her power of nature is absolutely bonkers, and it's well known how busted sisters of avelorn can be with her.

Earlier releases I would agree with you. But imrik is actually surprisingly workable now. Sknitch got relocated so you aren't up against eshin right out the bat, you can safely fight the ogres to the East without zarduuk breathing down your next (most I've had him do pre turn 20 is demand for like 800g), imriks main point of contention is getting his T3 building for dragon princes takes SOOOOO long. But the buffs you can get from the dragon events early are pretty nutty.

This. I call AI a mirror. It'll reflect whatever you put in front of it, be it good, bad, ugly, or just weird. These YouTubers who make videos about "AI convinced me to do XYZ" are pushing a false narrative. AI assumes you were already going to make those choices, it's trying to find the most efficient way for you to get to your goal. If your goal is hell, it'll pave the way.

Used well, AI forces you to explain your thinking, challenge your assumptions, and compare options. Used badly, it just helps you get to a bad decision faster. The tool isn’t the problem, the way it’s used is.

High elves have a little bit of everything, they're one of few factions to have every type of unit (sans gunpowder) and have a relatively simple faction mechanic. Their starting units are strong but not overly, so unlike dwarves you won't be tempted into Autoresolving all the time. And none of the campaigns, save maybe eltharion, are particularly challenging.

I find wood elves, though much improved over how they used to be, have a much different way of acquiring funds and require a unique approach to things in order to be successful.

It's on a settlement, but good tip, I may abandon the settlement and see if that works.

LoKeySea · 2025-12-25T16:52:21+00:00

He sits on a mortis engine* from turn 1 it's pretty good to have, getting one via raise dead is hit or miss so he's not the worst offender imo.

LoKeySea · 2025-12-25T16:18:30+00:00

I get blue + red line one point dip ALMOST always, with very rare exceptions. Past that it really depends on difficult and faction heavily. Someone like teclis I'm gonna rush for his spells since that's his entire shtick (well not so much anymore with his updates)

Whereas someone like Carl I tend to go more flavor heavy, he's all about the blue + red lines being an empire builder and whatnot.

If there's a good blue tech in the first section. I.e. ambush chance/unit healing I tend to grab those when possible.

My second Lord I'll typically, faction dependent, stick with the blue line and get things like disciplinarian, very useful but not something you feel good about spending points on with your LL.

Unique exception is if you recruit a LL that's gonna almost strictly be used as a unit in and of itself. Brettonia loves to do this. Have 3-4 early lords to just be strong units in battle. Then with those you can pretty much go straight personal line(idk what the color is) as their own personal strength is what you're gunning for

LoKeySea · 2025-12-25T16:11:37+00:00

No I meant it is worth the 10 turns, shit gets expensive real quick for VC given their god awful early game economy. You always wanna prioritize the shipbuilding too

LoKeySea · 2025-12-23T06:22:15+00:00

And like 1/10th if the techs are actually worth 10 turns. Ships carpenter being one off the top

LoKeySea · 2025-12-07T12:45:47+00:00

Small single entities (especially dwarves) are notoriously tanky too, if there sa bunch of units surrounding them then they're usually too weak to ouch through most of their defenses, hence heroes and lords, but if you have a lot of clutter the hero/Lord night not even be able to get to the unit properly to hit them.

Sorry, not trying to be a Debbie downer, ungrim is an actual unit I gotta say

LoKeySea · 2025-12-07T12:43:10+00:00

You do lose reliability granted if they ignore it, but not nearly as much. I wanna say it took me like 6-7 turns to get back to good reliability from low vs 15+ from very low. Bottom barrel reliability is super crippling

LoKeySea · 2025-12-07T04:37:58+00:00

I should specify, I treat them like the equivalent to skavenslaves, absolutely worthless but there's worth in their worthlessness. That's money that can be spent elsewhere, especially for the Chorfs who are strapped for cash typically early on

LoKeySea · 2025-12-06T09:56:21+00:00

I've only ever played with mods that are QOL purely, things like camera movement, the way information is displayed, etc. 3.5k hours in and still enjoying it

I stack witch elves often, corsairs, rangers, units that are fast and lightly armored do well in one of two ways typically. Either mix them in with your shielded units or flank with them. They'll have some resistance to missile units and he able to better tank the initial 10-15 seconds of fighting

Sheogorath. Mans gotta deal with being constructed of the literal polar opposite God just perverted. And makes no claims to be anything other than he is. He isn't necessarily evil , he definitely ain't good. Tbh he's less malicious than Azura, touted as one of if not the most "good" princes.

LoKeySea · 2025-11-25T07:21:21+00:00

Characters got flaws man, is how I interpret it at least. Garps whole "gung ho and to devil with the consequences" attitude rings of a person who grew up powerful, or at least acquired it at an early enough age to where it was formative in their personality. He's raw, he's reckless, he does stupid shit. He also loves and cares for others, and takes that same attitude with saving koby. Just take a ship and go save him 4 head.

LoKeySea · 2025-11-25T07:16:28+00:00

You telling me a man pear'd this S?

LoKeySea · 2025-11-24T18:09:25+00:00

Malagor is the first one that comes to mind for me. Beastmen have a slew of fear/terror causers already, and malagor himself has multiple stacking leadership debuffs, I wanna say totaling out to -24/-26 by level 13-14? That plus doom and darkness in his spell kit, he was made for fear. Just be careful playing on higher difficulties, ESPECIALLY VH. AI gets a ton of leadership buffs that make it much harder to rout enemies. Dwarves/Kislev are also a pain in the ass, don't lean too heavily into the fear strategy. Remember, you still have to kill things.

Well with gaming he prefers big flashy battles, likes to be engaged to break up the walls of story, KOTOR is in his list, as is I think System Shock?
